Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Legierung auf Nickelbasis, die bei der additiven Fertigung mittels selektiver Energiebestrahlung wie Laserstrahlung, Elektronenstrahlung oder auch Pulverauftragsschweißen verwendet werden kann.The invention relates to a nickel-based alloy that can be used in additive manufacturing by means of selective energy irradiation such as laser radiation, electron beams or powder deposition welding.

Die additive Fertigung, wie z.B. das selektive Laserstrahlschmelzen (SLM), aber nicht beschränkt auf das genannte Verfahren, basiert auf der lagenweisen, selektiven Aufschmelzung von Pulverschichten als Ausgangsmaterial zur Erzeugung eines geometrischen Objektes.Additive manufacturing, such as selective laser beam melting (SLM), but not limited to the process mentioned, is based on the layer-by-layer, selective melting of powder layers as the starting material to create a geometric object.

Beim SLM von hochtemperaturbeständigen Legierungen treten während des Prozesses Mikrorisse und während der Wärmebehandlung Makrorisse auf.In SLM of high temperature alloys, microcracking occurs during the process and macrocracking occurs during the heat treatment.

Nickelbasiswerkstoffe lassen sich in einer Schichtdicke bis zu 40µm rissfrei und produktiv aufbauen, allerdings weisen sie für eine einige Anwendungen keine ausreichenden mechanischen Eigenschaften auf, wie insbesondere Kriechfestigkeit. Im Weiteren ist die Oxidationsbeständigkeit oft eingeschränkt.Nickel-based materials can be built up productively and without cracks in a layer thickness of up to 40 µm, but for some applications they do not have sufficient mechanical properties, such as creep resistance in particular. Furthermore, the oxidation resistance is often limited.

Für eine Exploration und Industrialisierung weiterer additiv gefertigter Heißgas-Komponenten ist allerdings eine Legierung mit geeigneter Kombination aus mechanischen Eigenschaften und Produktivität notwendig.However, an alloy with a suitable combination of mechanical properties and productivity is required for the exploration and industrialization of other additively manufactured hot gas components.

Die US 2008101981 A1 offenbart eine Nickelbasislegierung mit Kohlenstoff, Chrom, Kobalt, Wolfram, Titan, Aluminium, Bor, Zirkon, Tantal, Niob sowie Palladium.the US2008101981A1 discloses a nickel base alloy containing carbon, chromium, cobalt, tungsten, titanium, aluminum, boron, zirconium, tantalum, niobium and palladium.

Die EP 3 205 442 A1 offenbart eine Nickelbasislegierung mit Kohlenstoff, Chrom, Kobalt, Wolfram, Titan, Aluminium, Bor, Zirkonium, Tantal, Niob.the EP 3 205 442 A1 discloses a nickel base alloy with carbon, chromium, cobalt, tungsten, titanium, aluminum, boron, zirconium, tantalum, niobium.

Die EP 3 257 956 A1 offenbart ebenfalls eine Nickelbasislegierung mit Kohlenstoff, Chrom, Kobalt, Wolfram, Titan, Aluminium, Bor, Tantal sowie Niob, Molybdän.the EP 3 257 956 A1 also discloses a nickel base alloy with carbon, chromium, cobalt, tungsten, titanium, aluminum, boron, tantalum and niobium, molybdenum.

Bisher wurde das Problem durch die Verwendung von anderen Legierungen gelöst, wobei dies eine Einschränkung bezüglich Bauqualität und Produktivität (20µm Schichtdicke) zur Folge hat. Insbesondere treten bei den entsprechenden Legierungen Mikrosrissbildung (im SLM-Prozess) und Makrorissbildung während der Wärmebehandlung auf, so dass ein Einsatz des SLM-Verfahrens mit diesen alternativen Legierungen die Nutzung als Fertigungsprozess für Neuteile einschränkt und die Möglichkeiten des SLM-Verfahrens nicht zum Tragen kommen können. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher oben genanntes Problem zu lösen.So far, the problem has been solved by using other alloys, which results in a limitation in terms of build quality and productivity (20 µm layer thickness). In particular, micro-cracking (in the SLM process) and macro-cracking occur in the corresponding alloys during heat treatment, so that the use of the SLM process with these alternative alloys limits the use as a manufacturing process for new parts and the possibilities of the SLM process do not come into play be able. The object of the invention is therefore to solve the above problem.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Legierung gemäß Anspruch 1 und einem Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 2.The object is achieved by an alloy according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 2.

In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Maßnahmen aufgelistet, die beliebig miteinander kombiniert werden können, um weitere Vorteile zu erzielen.Further advantageous measures are listed in the dependent claims, which can be combined with one another as desired in order to achieve further advantages.

The invention relates to a nickel-base superalloy consisting of, in % by weight: carbon (C) 0.13% - 0.17% Chromium (Cr) 21% - 22% cobalt (Co) 18% - 20% Tungsten (W) 1.8% - 2.2% Titanium (Ti) 3.0% - 3.4% Aluminum (Al) 2.1% - 3.0% boron (B) 0.008% - 0.012% Zircon (Zr) 0.0025% - 0.01% Tantalum (Ta) 1.6% - 2.5% niobium (Nb) 1.2% - 1.6% optionally: Yttrium (Y) 0.0025% - 0.0075% Yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) 0.25% - 1.25% optional and in particular maximum: vanadium (V) 0.01% Hafnium (Hf) 0.01% Silver (Ag) 0.005% Lead (Pb) 0.0003% Selenium (Se) 0.0003% oxygen (O) 0.005% Gallium (Ga) 0.001% Bismuth (Bi) 0.0001% nitrogen (N) 0.005% Manganese (Mg) 0.007% Tellurium (Te) 0.00005% Thallium (Tl) 0.0005% Calcium (Ca) 0.0001% Potassium (K) 0.0001% Silicon (Si) 0.02% Manganese (Mn) 0.01% iron (Fe) 0.02% copper (Cu) 0.01% Phosphorus (P) 0.005% Sulfur (S) 0.001% Molybdenum (Mo) 0.1% other impurities 0.1% Nickel (Ni) Rest.

Durch den verringerten Anteil von Silizium (Si) und Mangan (Mn) wird das Rissverhalten deutlich verbessert.Due to the reduced proportion of silicon (Si) and manganese (Mn), the crack behavior is significantly improved.

Durch den geringen Gehalt an Schwefel (S) wird der Oxidations- und Korrosionswiderstand erhöht.The low sulfur (S) content increases the resistance to oxidation and corrosion.

Durch den Chromgehalt (Cr) wird der Anteil der Sigma-Phase mit höherem γ'-Anteil kompensiert.The proportion of the sigma phase with a higher γ' proportion is compensated by the chromium content (Cr).

Ebenfalls wird der Titangehalt (Ti) so ausgewählt, um einen γ'-Gehalt mit höherem Anteil von Tantal (Ta) und Aluminium (Al) zu kompensieren.Also, the titanium (Ti) content is selected to compensate for a γ' content with higher levels of tantalum (Ta) and aluminum (Al).

Der Gehalt an Aluminium (Al) verbessert die Kriecheigenschaften und den Oxidationswiderstand.Aluminum (Al) content improves creep properties and oxidation resistance.

Durch die Gehalte an Zirkon (Zr), Eisen (Fe), Kupfer (Cu) wird die Rissfähigkeit deutlich verringert.Due to the content of zirconium (Zr), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), the ability to crack is significantly reduced.

Durch die Zugabe von Tantal (Ta) werden die Kriecheigenschaften deutlich verbessert, wobei der Niob-Gehalt (Nb) die Festigkeit erhöht.The addition of tantalum (Ta) significantly improves creep properties, while the niobium (Nb) content increases strength.

Durch die Zugabe von Yttriumoxid (Y2O3) wird der Oxidationswiderstand verbessert.The oxidation resistance is improved by the addition of yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ).

Mit den gezeigten Anpassungen wird die Verarbeitbarkeit für einen produktiven SLM-Prozess mit verbesserten mechanischen Eigenschaften und gesteigerter Oxidationsbeständigkeit gewährleistet.

In the heat treatment, no cracking due to signs of aging is to be expected, this has been confirmed experimentally and simulatively, which reduces the post-processing expenses, such as surface treatment.
